Lewys Steward - Sports Coaching - Qualifications and Experience

SPORTS COACHING QUALIFICATIONS

I am a Football Association of Wales Leader accredicted coach.

I have a full current CRB certificate and can coach any age group

 

UNIVERSITY

As part of my Sports Studies University course I have spent time with local schools in Worcester assisting in the coaching of various sports including spending a number of weeks working within the disabled community and schools.

 

SOCCER

I am a Football Association of Wales Leader accredited coach and I have been involved in coaching junior soccer teams for Pencoed Boys Club for a number of years. I was part of the successful coaching team which resulted in the Pencoed Under 11’s becoming League and Cup Winners.

 

RUGBY

 

I have played rugby at various levels up to county standard since I was 4 years old. I have also played in a number of countries including France, South Africa (twice under head coach Simon King) and Canada. 

 

Between September and December 2013 I spent a long vacation in Toronto during which I took the opportunity to research working opportunities in Canada. During that time I also joined the Oakville Crusaders Rugby Club playing for them in their successful run in the McCormick Cup Consolation provincial competition helping them to win the final. 


I have also coached rugby at various levels from 3 years old (RugbyTots) to adult (University of Worcester and Malvern RFC development teams). In the summer of 2010 I joined the teaching staff of Pencoed Comprehensive School to support them as a coach on the Senior Rugby Tour to South Africa. My main roles involved fitness training and backs coaching taking sessions during the numerous training sessions. I was also able to call upon my previous experiences of playing in South Africa in 2006

Summer 2014
So after having a few months helping out with  Readwave and Don't Kill The Pigeon, I have secured a job with Mid Glamorgan Press Agency where the real Sports Journalism starts.

March 2014

I am now back in the UK and have started writing articles for the Don't Kill The Pigeon and Readwave online magazines. This is an exciting time for me as a rookie journalist starting out on my career path, getting articles published on a regular basis. I hope this will be the start of my journalist career.

The greatest experience ever - the CN Tower Edgewalk and today I went and did it (see photo on Home page). Standing (outside of the CN Tower) on the edge of a metal platform 1147 feet up in the air and held there by two tethers - open to the elements. It was so much fun and it even snowed
